The top 5 health concerns of women

Have heart – take control

by jenna sweeneyPublished: February, 2011



“I declare to you that women must not depend upon the protection of man but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.”

– Susan B. Anthony
   
Women have made great strides in taking care of themselves. Today, women are powerful business leaders, politicians and entrepreneurs. However, while they run companies and homes and take part in creative passions, they often fall short when it comes to their own health.  
   
Let’s face it: Knowledge is power. Knowing a little bit about something can mean everything when it comes to health. Understanding the causes, symptoms and dangers of a particular disease or disorder can help you gain control over your body.
   
Hormones, genetics, stress, injury and nutrition can all determine the state of a woman’s physical and mental health. The craziness of life can often leave women feeling lost while trying to stay on the path to healthy living, especially when their foremost concern is taking care of everyone else: their children, husbands and aging parents. Knowing about important health risks, concerns and symptoms can be the boost that can save your life – or at least your sanity.
   
The top five health concerns for women are:

1. Heart Disease

2. Breast Cancer

3. Osteoporosis

4. Stroke

5. Depression
